PLAYING A CAMPAIGN GAME
When playing a campaign game you have two extra
things to do. Firstly, before the game starts, you must
decide where the fight is to take place and sort out any
other pre-battle details. Secondly, after the game is over,
you must roll for income, injuries and other post-battle
details.
PRE-BATTLE SEQUENCE
Before the battle can begin the players work their way
through the following sequence.
1. The player with the lowest gang rating rolls on the
Scenario Table to determine which scenario will be
played. If the scenario has an attacker and a
defender, then the player who picks the scenario
must attack.
SCENARIO TABLE
2D6 Result
2 The player whose gang has the highest gang
rating may choose which scenario is played.
The battle is fought in an old dome which is
prone to cave-ins. If either side uses a heavy
weapon or grenade during the game the
roof caves in on a D6 roll of 4, 5 or 6. Roll
each time such a weapon is used. If the roof
caves in then the game ends immediately in
a draw and all models must roll under their
Initiative to escape without further harm.
Any fighters who fail this test sustain a S4 hit
with a -1 armour save modifier.
3 The player whose gang has the highest gang
rating may choose which scenario is played.
4-6 Play the Gang Fight scenario.
7-11 The player with the lower gang rating may
choose which scenario is played.
12 The player with the lower gang rating may
choose which scenario is played. In
addition, this is a real ‘grudge match’, so
both sides earn double Experience points
for the battle.
2. Roll for fighters with Old Battle Wounds or
Head Wounds to see what part they play in the
battle.
3. Set up the terrain and gangs according to the
rules for the scenario you are playing.

POST BATTLE SEQUENCE
After the battle is over the players work their way through
the following sequence. You do not have to work
through the entire sequence at once, as you may wish to
consider further purchases, but any dice rolls required
must be observed by both players or a neutral third party.
It is convenient to complete up to Section 4 (Collecting
Income) straight after the game.
1. Determine the extent of injuries for each fighter
out of action at the end of the game. Fighters
who are down at the end of the game are
considered to be out of action on the D6 roll of
a 4, 5 or 6 and must also roll for injuries. See
the Serious Injuries chart.
2. Allocate Experience points for your fighters and
make any Advance rolls. See the Experience
section and Scenarios for details of how this
works.
3. Re-allocate territory if appropriate. Territory
may be lost or won according to the scenario
played.
4. Collect income from territory as described in
the Territory section.
5. Recruit new fighters and buy new equipment as
described in the Trading Post section.
6. Update your total gang rating and you are ready
to fight again.
DISBANDING GANGS
You may choose to disband your gang at the end of any
game and start again with a new one. All of the old gang’s
territories are lost, but gang fighters may be hired for the
new gang if you wish. Gang fighters who are ‘re-hired’
have a cost equal to the value listed for them in the gang
list plus their equipment, plus 1 credit per Experience
point.
The leader of a disbanded gang, if he is still alive, may not
be hired into the new gang. He wanders alone and
defeated into the wastes and is never seen again.
BUYING NEW EQUIPMENT BETWEEN GAMES
As explained in the Trading Post section fighters may be
bought new equipment using credits from the gang’s
stash. Fighters may trade in old equipment they no
longer want. Gang fighters can also swap equipment
between themselves. Alternatively, old equipment can be
hoarded and re-used at a later date.
Weapons purchased, swapped or taken from storage
must be of an appropriate type for the fighter as
indicated in the recruitment lists. You can’t give a ganger
a heavy weapon, for example.
Record any changes to a gang fighter’s equipment on the
gang roster. Bear in mind that models must always carry
the appropriate weaponry. A fighter who changes his
weaponry must be represented by a new model, or the
existing model may be converted so that he carries the
appropriate weapons.
